About: ➖ About Me ➖ Hello, my name is Hailey and I love all pets of all breeds, sizes, and age. With years of hands-on experience, I bring a deep understanding of pet care beyond just sitting. I’ve worked with Rover in multiple states, fostered dogs throughout college, and grew up caring for dogs of all breeds and ages. While my current pets are cats, my love for dogs hasn’t changed—I just focus on in-home care to give them the best experience in their own space. I have experience with puppy training, senior dog care, and high-energy breeds. Whether your dog needs structured walks, extra patience, or just lots of love and attention, I tailor my care to their unique needs. My goal is to provide a stress-free, fun, and loving experience for both pets and owners! ➖ About My Services ➖ My goal is to provide personalized care while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, walking, cuddling, or mental stimulation, I ensure they get the attention and care they need. I’m experienced with all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and care. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities! ➖ What To Expect From Pet Sitting ➖ To ensure the best care for your pet, I ask that owners provide all necessary supplies and information before the booking. This helps keep your pet comfortable and allows me to stick as closely as possible to their routine. Meet & Greet: Before the first pet-sitting visit, I always schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet. This allows us to go over care instructions, discuss expectations, and make sure your pet feels comfortable with me. It’s also a great time to ask any questions! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to look after your pet I cannot wait to meet them! ➖ Schedule ➖ My current schedule for the summer is currently open with my current routine there should be no interference and I am looking forward to hearing from you! ➖ Care ➖ I will follow as closely to your regular routine as possible. In my home there are no current pets so your pet will receive sole attention with no distractions there is a dog park located at my home and another 0.4 miles away as well if they enjoy walking/running and playing with other dogs.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life and have two dogs that are 10 and 4 years old. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats. I understand the importance of having someone who not only takes care of your pets but treats them like family. I’m a full time college student home for the summer. I currently walk dogs every day. I also have extensive experience in overnight dog sitting. I enjoy spending time with pets including walking dogs and playing with cats. My first priority is to ensure that they’re well cared for.
About: Hi there! I have been a professional pet sitter since 2015 and have grown up with animals of all kinds since I was a young kid. I graduated from UNF with my Bachelors of Science in Coastal Enviornmental Science and love all types of animals. I am home most of the day (I work part-time remotely) so your dogs will have frequent potty breaks, sweet talk, cuddles, and playtime in and outside. I will always spoil your babies just like my very own. Currently, I offer housesitting in Fernandina Beach, Yulee, and Jacksonville. I will also travel to other locations if needed. I am only offering dog sitting at my home in Jacksonville, in the Murray Hill neighborhood. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds, big or small I love them all. I have vast experience with disabled and older dogs, including administering medication. Animals are a passion of mine and I find great joy in taking care of dogs. I send picture updates daily so you can have peace of mind that your dog is being well taken care of. I would love to watch over your four-legged family! I am home most of the day (I work part-time remotely) so your dogs will have frequent potty breaks, sweet talk, cuddles, and playtime in and outside. I will always spoil your babies just like my very own. I have a fully fenced in yard and always supervise any time spent outside. I always keep an eye on where the pets are at and make sure everyone is getting along. I give special attention during feeding time to ensure no aggression is displayed.
“Carrie helped me at the last minute! So grateful for her support and professionalism. She understood our kittens special needs and kept him safe. I recommend Carrie to any pet owner fortunate enough to book her. Thank You!”
“Jessica was amazing and helped let my dog out when I had to work some long hours. Took lots of cute photos and wrote a little blurb about what they did. She was awesome!”
“Summer was very timely in her visits and communicated with me as needed. I was comforted to know that Elvis was being cared for while I was away from my home for the day. I will use her services again.”
“Debbie did a great job and would definitely use her service again. She went above and beyond trying to care for my cats as I would have (I actually have several cats not one cat named Several ?). But the greatest vote of confidence was from my cats - and that was definitely a 'paws up.' in fact, one of my cats that always hides when new people are here came out to greet her while she was feeding - and she came out right away, the first night! Highly recommend Debbie.”
About: I have taken care of several dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I also have turtles, fish, and a wonderful cat. I’m ready for any situation that could arise! I am here in this area for quite awhile. I can do any weekdays days during the evening after 3pm, anytime during the weekends and any night including weekdays! I’m flexible! I I have experience administer aging medications, giving baths and grooming, putting on nail caps for cats and other nail care (clipping). Like I said I am flexible and can go around your schedule
About: I am retired and recently returned from abroad. While in Europe I cared for many ex-pats' pets as they traveled to their homes abroad. Cats, chickens, goats, dogs and even show horses were cared for in castles, farms and homes large and small. Being retired, I have no set schedule and can be available to noontime visits or the occasional evening when you are late to come home. My current apartment does not allow pets, but am willing to consider staying in your home to oversee your pet's care while you are away. I am retired with plenty of time on my hands. Cycling, kayaking and walks on the beach are my favorite activities so this leaves me with extra time to care for your pets. Although I am currently unable to care for pets in my apartment, that may change soon. I am able to provide you with many letters of recommendation from the families to whom I have provided loving pet care.
“Charity did a great job stopping by the house while I was out of town. She was timely which was very important since Lynus needed his meds at a certain time.Took pictures and sent them to me, which help to put me at ease.I would not hesitate to use her again”
About: I'm an animal lover! I've had cats, dogs, horses and rabbits of my own since childhood. I've been sitting for my friends pets for years. I'm competent and caring! Your furry family member will be treated with love and kindness. I love the outdoors and the beach, so long walks and activity are easily provided. I am experienced with geriatric animals and as a nurse I am competent and comfortable giving injections, providing wound care and administering oral medications. I work part time, usually 3-4 days a week for 4-6 hours. My work day starts no earlier than 930am and goes no later than 830pm. My hours and days of the week vary, but I am always home in the morning and the evening. I have a fenced yard, but would never leave your furry family member unattended as I live on the water and there are critters around. I prefer to take pets for walks at the beaches, parks and trails. I am able to accommodate pets in crates. Furry friends are welcome on my furniture except tables and countertops. I have a friendly kitty named Graylord. He is shy at first and is not declawed. Graylord does not sleep with me as he is an indoor/outdoor cat and is maintained on flee control and up to date on vaccines.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fernandina Beach stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fernandina Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
